NZS 3101-2006 Example 002

This document summarizes an example problem from the NZS 3101-2006 standard for checking the demand to capacity ratio of a reinforced concrete column under axial load and moment. The example tests a column subjected to 2445 kN of axial load and 611 kN-m of moment. Hand calculations determine the column's demand to capacity ratio is 1.0, which is then verified using the ETABS software, showing less than 1% difference between the results.

P-M INTERACTION CHECK FOR COMPRESSION-CONTROLLED RECTANGULAR COLUMN

EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
The Demand/Capacity ratio for a given axial loading and moment is tested in this
example.

In this example, a reinforced concrete column is subjected factored axial load N*


= 2445 kN and moment My = 611 kN-m. This column is reinforced with 5 T25
bars. The design capacity ratio is checked by hand calculations and computed
result is compared. The column is designed as a short, non-sway member.

HAND CALCULATION

COLUMN STRENGTH UNDER COMPRESSION CONTROL

fcu = 30 MPa fy = 460 MPa


b = 350 mm d = 490 mm

1) Because e = 250 mm < (2/3)d = 327 mm, assume compression failure. This assumption will
be checked later. Calculate the distance to the neutral axis fro a balanced condition, cb:

Position of neutral axis at balance condition:

600 600
cb = dt = ( 490) = 277 mm
600 + f y 600 + 460

2) From the equation of equilibrium:

N * = Cc + C s − T
where
Cc = 0.85 f c'ab = 0.85 • 30 • 350a = 8925a
( )
Cs = As' f y - 0.85 f c' = 2500 ( 460 - 0.85 • 30 ) = 1,086, 250 N
Assume compression steels yields, (this assumption will be checked later).
T = As f s = 2500 f s ( f s < f y )
N * = 8,925a + 1,086, 250 - 2500 f s (Eqn. 1)

3) Taking moments about As:

  a ' 
N* =
1
( )
 Cc  d - 2  + C s d - d 
 
e'  
The plastic centroid is at the center of the section and d " = 215 mm
e' = e + d " = 250 + 215 = 465 mm
1   a 
N* =  8,925a  490 -  + 1,086, 250 ( 490 - 60 ) 
465   2 
* 2
N = 9, 404.8a - 9.6a + 1,004, 489.2 (Eqn. 2)

4) Assume c = 330 mm, which exceed cb (296 mm).

a = 0.85 • 330 = 280.5 mm

Substitute in Eqn. 2:
N * = 9, 404.8 • 280.5 - 9.6 ( 280.5) + 1,004, 489.2 = 2,887, 205.2 N

5) Calculate fs from the strain diagram when c = 330 mm.

 490 - 330 
fs =   600 = 290.9 MPa
 330 
εs = εt = f s Es = 0.00145

6) Substitute a = 280.5 mm and fs = 290.9 MPa in Eqn. 1 to calculate N*2:


N 2* = 8,925 ( 280.5) + 1,086, 250 - 2500 ( 290.9 ) = 2,862, 462.5 N
Which is very close to the calculated Pr1 of 2,887,205.2 (less than 1% difference)
 250 
M * = N * e = 2877   = 719 kN-m
 1000 

7) Check if compression steels yield. From strain diagram,


 330 - 60 
ε s' =   ( 0.003) = 0.00245 > ε y = 0.0023
 330 
Compression steels yields, as assumed.

8) Therefore, section capacity is

N * = 0.85 • 2877 = 2445 kN


M * = 0.85 • 719 = 611 kN-m
